Lyrics
Verse 1
Take the world, but give me Jesus, All its joys are but a name; But His love abideth ever, Thru eternal years the same.
Verse 2
Take the world, but give me Jesus, Sweetest comfort of my soul; With my Savior watching o'er me, I can sing tho' billows roll.
Verse 3
Take the world, but give me Jesus, Let me view His constant smile; Then thruout my pilgrim journey Light will cheer me all the while.
Verse 4
Take the world, but give me Jesus, In His cross my trust shall be, Till, with clearer, brighter vision, Face to face my Lord I see.
Chorus
O the height and depth of mercy! O the length and breadth of love! O the fulness of redemption, Pledge of endless life above.
